Building Partial Discharge Signal Wireless Probes
This chapter focuses on the evaluation of the performances of different antenna sensors suitable for Partial Discharge (PD) measurements. Monopole, triangular and spherical antennas were simulated by means of the surface method of moments. The transmitting system is modeled by a power electronic device with a fault current between two metal plates. The shape of the simulated, transmitted and received signals, has been compared to verify the sensor that provides the best fidelity among the three. The auto-correlation function and the Pearson correlation index are adopted here for the comparison. A discussion on the dynamic characteristic of the different antenna probes and their use in different application is proposed

High Frequency Model of PV Systems for the Evaluation of Ground Currents
A high frequency model of a photovoltaic (PV)
plant is developed and analysed to investigate the common mode (CM) currents circulating through the ground connections
of the plant. The modelling method is based on the
measurement of the impedance frequency response of photovoltaic module and on a high frequency representation of the power conversion unit. An overall lumped parameters
circuit model is obtained and then implemented in PSpice. The CM leakage currents are evaluated by simulation
Generative Temporal Models with Spatial Memory for Partially Observed Environments
In model-based reinforcement learning, generative and temporal models of
environments can be leveraged to boost agent performance, either by tuning the
agent's representations during training or via use as part of an explicit
planning mechanism. However, their application in practice has been limited to
simplistic environments, due to the difficulty of training such models in
larger, potentially partially-observed and 3D environments. In this work we
introduce a novel action-conditioned generative model of such challenging
environments. The model features a non-parametric spatial memory system in
which we store learned, disentangled representations of the environment.
Low-dimensional spatial updates are computed using a state-space model that
makes use of knowledge on the prior dynamics of the moving agent, and
high-dimensional visual observations are modelled with a Variational
Auto-Encoder. The result is a scalable architecture capable of performing
coherent predictions over hundreds of time steps across a range of partially
observed 2D and 3D environments.Comment: ICML 201
Performances of rainfall energy harvester
In this paper the performances of rainfall energy harvesting by means of piezoelectric transducers is presented. Diverse studies agree on the level of suitable generated voltage on the electrodes of a piezoelectric transducer subjected to rainfall, but a complete characterization on the supplied power is still missing. This work, in order to limit optimistic forecasts, takes into account the behavior of the transducers subjected to real and also artificial rainfall, condition that has shown promising behavior in laboratory. In order to increase the energy harvesting and also define its limits different loads have been taken into account. Only commercial transducers have been considered: a lead zirconate titanate and polyvinylidene difluoride transducer
